Over 10,000 SpaceX employees bought stock in the IPO. The people with the best information bought.
Gavin Baker calls it the most underappreciated fact about SpaceX.
Employees and early investors could sell every six months for the last 10 years. Anyone who wanted out already had the chance.
Everyone fears a wave of insider selling. The insiders bought.

@zerohedge SpaceX has a chance of going about half the GW next year of actually usable compute.
“Actually usable” is an important metric. It takes us ~2 months working 24/7 to get a large compute cluster working reliably. I’d guess closer to 6 months for others.

At what point does an IPO just become a cap raise that bypasses Rule 506? Nothing about what Anthropic is doing is an IPO. They just can't raise any more money from private institutions so they're going public to try and raise from retail investors.
Each satellite on Starship Flight 15 can move a terabit of data every second. There are 26 of them on board.
They're Starlink V3s. Each one weighs about two tonnes, which is too big for a Falcon 9, so Starship is the only rocket that can launch them.
Getting them out is the fun part. The satellites sit flat in a stack inside the payload bay. A slot door opens in the side of the ship and a motorised track pushes them out one at a time, which is why it's nicknamed the Pez dispenser. On Flight 14, all 26 were out in about 30 minutes.
Once a satellite is clear, it unfolds its antennas and opens two solar arrays that make about twice the power of the last generation.
The numbers per satellite:
• 1 Tbps of downlink, about 10x a V2
• 160 Gbps of uplink, about 22x a V2
• 2,048 beams each way, up from 192 down and 144 up
• Six laser links at 400 Gbps each
After that, argon thrusters slowly raise each one to its working orbit.
Flight 15 carries 26, but a full Starship can take up to 60. That's about 60 terabits of new capacity from one launch.
